I have oak cabinets and I chose the verde butterfly for my granite. The floors for a brownish ceramic tile and I'm having a hard time choosing the backsplash. Any suggestions?

Rachel: I suggest to use a tumbled noce travertine tile.

We have off-white cabinets, black appliances, and are putting in butterfly green granite. What would you suggest for the backsplash and floor? We have heard gold would look good...any other suggestions?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:43AM, Jun 1 2010.
Guest: For the backsplash you may go into a sleek and elegant style with a simple, light subway tile. For the flooring, a travertine tile would look excellent with this set-up.

I have white cabinets with oak hardwood floors. Kitchen is open to the family room which has the same hardwood floors. I am leaning towards butterfly granite for the countertops. However, I am having hard time with backsplash color and paint color (closed soffet) above the cabinets. Can you suggest options? Thanks
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 04:07PM, Apr 26 2010.
Sue: For backsplash try a tumbled noce travertine tile. And Benjamin Moore "Honeyed Almond" for paint.

Thanks for the reply... is there a big price diff between Uba Tuba and Verde Butterfly?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 04:40PM, Apr 12 2010.
Amy: They're priced very similar. For pricing please contact the sales office.

I have white cabinets and white tile floors with dark green small tiles intermixed. Similar to pics above. Would u recommend verde butterfly or would uba tuba work? is uba tuba too black?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:36AM, Apr 10 2010.
Amy: I'm leaning towards the Butterfly, a little warmer.

I'm putting in honey oak cabniets and want the verde butterfly countertop what for a floor and backsplash stone?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 01:04PM, Mar 29 2010.
pattie: For backsplash do a light subway tile and the floors can be done in a travertine tile.

Not sure - looking for some suggestions
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 02:14PM, Feb 12 2010.

We have 2 different colors of cabinets: ash and crimson red (sort of like this website) from Diamond. We also have ash floors. What color granite would suggest to tie the whole thing together.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 12:22PM, Feb 12 2010.
Ted: Are you leaning towards a light or dark color so far?

and black appliances

All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 08:59AM, Jan 22 2010.
ladyrose: They are all very similar stones from the same family with variations in color tone, and the verde butterfly will create a warm, traditional atmosphere in your kitchen.

what granite color do you recommend for natural cherry cabineT?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 01:40PM, Dec 5 2009.
usha: The Butterfly pictured above will look great.
Bob - GUESTat 08:01AM, Nov 28 2009.
The floors are off white tile; the cabinets will; probably be very light maple. It's a small kitchen, but well-lit, and lake views in Florida and are leaning towards a darkish counter. Would a strong pattern be overwhelming? Would this be too dark.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:24AM, Nov 28 2009.
Bob: I think you will be alright with the shade, but a lighter option in the greens is Pocono Green. This pattern is not overwhelming, it will look good.
anu - GUESTat 05:19PM, Oct 12 2009.
i would like to know if this color will look good with cherry cabinets , my kitchen size is not very big ..so i dont any marble color which will shrink the kitchen
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 05:25PM, Oct 12 2009.
anu: You might want to look at Butterfly Green, it is a little lighter, will make the kitchen look more spacious. How is the natural light in your kitchen?
anita - GUESTat 08:25AM, Mar 26 2009.
one more question. I want a granite sink, since I have white appliances do you think I should stick with the white sink or go with black?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:39AM, Mar 27 2009.
anita: I think white would go well with the appliances.. Black is ok with the stone itself though.
anita - GUESTat 09:49PM, Mar 22 2009.
i am remodeling. I have honey oak cabinets, white appliances and oak floors. I love green butterfly. Wall paper directly connecting to kitchen has dark green in it. Your thoughts.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 10:38AM, Mar 25 2009.
anita: Seems like a nice design.

I am looking for a green granite to go with cherry cabinets and yellow and red accessories. What colors do you suggest
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 04:53PM, Mar 16 2009.
Leslie: Probably not green if you want red cherry.
sadie - GUESTat 09:25PM, Mar 11 2009.
have seen butterfly green. do you think it would be good with espresso vanity?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 02:03PM, Mar 12 2009.

All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 01:43PM, Jan 27 2009.
rosemmarie: Sounds like the typical Uba Tuba kitchen.
Kathy - GUESTat 08:24PM, Nov 24 2008.
Thank you. I went out looking again today and found a granite named Golden Sun. Lots of gray, creamy white, rust,warm tan,copper, etc, with movement like Creama Bourdeau. Does that sound better? Galaxy scares me--contrast and upkeep!
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 10:05AM, Nov 25 2008.
Kathy: It won't be as contrasting as the Galaxy, but I like the idea of a well defined pattern. That alone should make it pop.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:46AM, Nov 24 2008.

Kathy - GUESTat 11:45PM, Nov 22 2008.
red oak floors stained lt-med nutmeg, white cabinets, stainless appliances. There is gold, copper, dark brown nearby & large NE windows. How about Galaxy with a copper backsplash or V. Butterfly with a matching BSp? Other suggestions? The white has been difficult, since stones in granites are often cream or gray,etc.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:45AM, Nov 24 2008.
Kathy: Yes, finding a white granite is going to be nearly impossible. I would stick to other colors. As far as the butterfly goes, it might not go too well wit the red oak floor. Galaxy is a fine choice, but be prepared to have a lot of contrast.
Jean - GUESTat 07:46PM, Nov 5 2008.
cabinets are pickled oak w/pinkish tones, floor is multicolored w/teal&grey plus others, backsplash is white; appliances stainless.....will butterfy go with this combo or have I fallen in love with the wrong color granite?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 08:30AM, Nov 20 2008.
Jean: Pink vs Green. That color combination might not go together so well. It really depends on what kind of pinkish tones we're talking about. My suggestion is to get a sample and put them together.
Dee - GUESTat 07:28PM, Nov 3 2008.
is butterfly a blue, double blue or silver price range?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 04:43PM, Nov 19 2008.

We are putting in new kitchen with light maple cabinets and light taupe tile floor. Would like something with color like butterfly. Your thoughts?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 04:43PM, Nov 19 2008.
Sue: Butterfly is always a good match to maple. Keep in mind that this is a green and might prevent you from using reds in the rest of the decor.

What granite colors do you recommend for cherry cabinets cabernet finish
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 04:39PM, Aug 11 2008.
Ginny: Usually not this one. Green and red don't go together so well.

I love this stone, wondering what kind of cabinet can go with it and also floor and backsplash?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 06:40PM, Jul 17 2008.

my kitchen floors is black and white checker board, and iam purchasing cherry wood cabinets what color granite do think i should.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 12:20PM, Nov 12 2007.
byron francois: Butterfly might be too green for your cabinets. Try to find something in the browns and golds.
